Fastening sander to supporting
surface
During operation, the sander may have a tendency
to slide or move about on the bench or table. It is
recommended that the sander be fastened to the
bench or table. Two holes are supplied in the
sander base plate for easy mounting.
8.2
Dust chutes
The sander has two 1-1/4 inch diameter dust
chutes (see Figure 5). The disc sander chute is at
the rear of sander under the disc sander table.
The belt sander chute is in the cover on left side of
sander. The chutes can be connected to a vacuum
system to collect dust particles during use.

Electrical connections
The motor supplied with your sander is wired for
operation at 115 Volts. IT MUST NEVER BE
CONVERTED TO OPERATE AT 230 VOLTS!
Before connecting motor cord to power source,
make certain switch is in OFF position, and be sure
that electric current is of same characteristics as
stamped on motor nameplate.
9.1
Grounding instructions
The sander must be grounded
while in use to protect operator from electric
shock. Make sure that receptacle is properly
grounded. If you are not sure receptacle is
grounded, have a certified electrician check for
proper grounding.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided—if it will not fit
have a new outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the plug,
as shown in Figure 6.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet and a plug that looks like the one shown in
Figure 6.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure 7, may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure 7, if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
